There are accounts, stories, observations and more throughout my journals and scribbling of things I have seen and experienced. There are photo albums from Africa, New Zealand, Canada, Spain and North America. It would take a librarian to catalog, categorize all my writings. If, if mind you, one...
You are right. Previous years draw statistics.
Thankfully we have Buzztard the hunting guru, self acclaimed, to set EVERYONE straight. I want to use bad language, but not appropriate.
Why have many not done their own research in lieu of wasting $$$ on some company that evaluates draw odds. On the MT website it states draw odds. Surely other lower 48 states must state resident/nonresident odds. Orrrrr, are most just too lazy to put in the research effort?
I guess it must be me...
For NR that truly want the experience to hunt bighorn sheep I recommend unit 500 and 501. Both OTC tags. Quota, 2 each for these units. But, you can purchase an OTC tag. Hire a guide, roll the dice. Someone has to score. I went along with a friend that purchased one of these tags. Went in a week...
I purchased all of my resident tags and applied for sheep at region 1 HQ. Was told that resident bonus points are squared. Did not inquire if nonresident points are squared. Do not have that distinct information. If not, how would resident vs. nonresident opportunities be equal? MTG
BAKPAKR’s right about terrain, critical terrain, that goats like. Also, you, as an ethical hunter, must decide whether taking a goat and recovering said goat is possible. Mine fetched up on a ledge…..thankfully. He fell a good 500’ from the perch he stood on when I shot him. I watched him for a...
My goat was taken on a 65 degree angle shot. He fell over 500’ before landing on a ledge. It took me over two hours of climbing to get to a point where I could take a good shot and be comfortable with the shot.
Mountain goats can and will live in the nose bleed country. When spooked they climb...
No elephant, hippo, lion, crok and more. Would like a Sable and perhaps a Cape buffalo. But, not going again. Good ‘nuff, don’t have the room. It’s full! MTG
Csimonds, you are young and frankly I would start applying and buying bonus points. Yes, saving for a guided hunt is a good idea also. Put your money in CD’s and leave them alone to build. Who knows how long a big three tag could come available for a eastern nonresident. What have you got to...
